LABOR MISSING IN ACTION ON ENVIRONMENT LAWS

TRANSCRIPT – Sky News Politics Now with Tom Connell

TOM CONNELL:
Joining me now is Shadow Environment Minister Angie Bell, who’s been combing through this Bill. Thank you for your time. So, you’re not supporting the laws as they stand. Going through a few of your points that you’ve made. So, you say there’s no improvement.
The Bill does talk about avoiding duplication in terms of having the approval powers at state, not federal level. That would be an improvement, wouldn’t it, in terms of duplication, which a lot of people complain about?

Youth

I had the great pleasure of hosting the Leader of the Opposition when she visited my electorate of Moncrieff last week. One of the standouts of her visit was introducing the leader to exceptional young leaders at Merrimac State High School. It’s a beautiful school that I have the privilege of visiting regularly. It’s not far from my home. It’s one of the 34 schools in the electorate of Moncrieff, and I love all of them.

I speak to mainstream Australians about this, about the things that impact them, and there are many things wrong with this reform from those opposite.

Environment: Christmas Island Shrew

We’re very happy on this side that the beard’s gone. Australia is the best country in the world, with the most iconic flora and fauna. Our ecosystem is unique and must be protected, but it seems to be going backwards under this government.
